Raindrop Stories - Comments

Maybe Queen Elizabeth used this to water her flowersor maybe a dinosaur stepped in this right before it went extinct.”--This was just beautiful...lovely, brilliant. It's what I'd expect from you <3 You're stories make me think, you know? And this one in particular-yes it made me think a lot. I will never look at rain the same way again. I'll always have those thoughts: Maybe Queen Elizabeth used this to water her flowers. With only that many words/one chapter you portrayed the lost meaning of rain...this was just so dreamy.

And the layout-I loved the rain drops ion the background <3

Up until I read this, I never really thought about the rain like that. But now you've got me wondering about it, and so next time it rains it'll remind me of this story :)
This seriously was such an interesting take on one of nature's simplest and most common phenomenons. I think we take the rain for granted a lot of the time and we just pass it off as an annoyance or something fun to play in as kids. We never really realize that this water has been cycling around for centuries and it's "seen" places we never dreamed we could.

I loved these lines: When it ruined someone’s day, it never failed to apologize by showing people what it was doing. A rainbow stretches across the sky, demonstrating the beauty and marvels in its power. It creates a view so breathtaking; it can’t be copied nor synthesized.
I like the idea of rain apologizing for being obnoxious, haha. It gives the rain a more human emotion.

In 492 words, you've made me remember how grateful we all should be for nature as a whole. And you made me think - a LOT. Thank you for writing this amazing piece :) You're a great writer!

That song is stuck in my head now. As soon as I read the summary I started singing it.
Paramore = <3 I'm seeing them for the second time in NOVEMBER!! XD
okay, sorry, totally off the point. D:
Anyway, this is amazing. I'm not too fond of the title but whatever. I would have prefered When It Rains.
But other then that title, this is awesome and I love her the name is Rain. :) It's a cute addition to it. <3
A few particular lines in this one shot stood out to me. You really potrayed great emotions and descriptions in this.
You never fail to amaze me with your awesome writing skills.
Really good job on this too and the story line was lovely.
Well done. <3

You're so negative about your stories when they're so good! I thought this was an absolutely brilliant idea for a story, and the way you wrote it was just great.

I LOVE the rain, and people always try to convince me it's so depressing. I feel just like your character. Not to mention, ninety percent of the time in writing, the rain is used as a metaphor for depression or sorrow. So, this story is in the minority (therefore earning it more points).

Great job!

I really enjoyed it especially the part where you captured it's phases and emotions how it could branch out in so many ways. That was my favorite I dont think it could have been done better.

As for the first part I often wondered about that but sometimes in more gross ways and just about water in general like as I'm taking a sip (did someone pee this out once o.o?) lol.

(told ya if I passed my test I would comment =])

There were so many possibilities as to what this water has seen in its time.
Hmm, I've never thought about that. But you're right! Really interesting idea. I like it, and I love the way you put everything into place about that idea. It's brilliant.

For Jessie, the rain had more life than half the people on Earth.
Damn. Another great thought. I love the way you made it so Jessie is an imaginative thinker; it really adds to the story itself. And I love how the rain has emotions and can speak to the people of the world with its many ways of presenting itself. That was wonderful.

She knew that wherever she went, Rain would follow her like the faithful friend it was.
I love that ending line. It really summed up everything as a whole in a simple sentence. Beautiful.

Overall, this was amazing. Everything about it was perfectly wonderful and you have such a talent for writing. I think your style is really hard to find. For me you and a couple others on this site are like the perfect writers for my liking, which is awesome. I wouldn't mind reading some more of your pieces :) Great job!

I love the concept you have with this story. I'm the same way, but with stars. The character's fascination with rain amused me and I immediately felt familiar with her.

The thought of rain having seen many things is very appealing. It almost makes me wish to be water. In the after life maybe.

Anyway, your writing is excellent. Her thoughts and feelings were described perfectly. Great job. :D

i love this story! very interesting! well put together.......nice layout......maybe you should just leave it as a one-shot? very good! even though it was very little worded, you made the reader feel every emotion that you wanted them to! I love the rain! Because when its over, all the colors around me outside are more vibrant! again, good job!!! bravo!

Interesting idea! I have never shot the rain a second glance beyond a wish of contempt. (No, I am not a poet, lol.) But you are! These new stories you are coming up with are really deep. Intimate. I don't know, I just like it. You take things that no one ever notices (looking round the neighborhood, rain!) and make it into something that I want to notice, that I want to think about. :)
xoxo

I LOVE THIS!!!! i love the rain so maybe I am a little biased but I think that you did a really good job describing everything. I really got a sesne of the character and her feelings. Good job! :D

(comment swap)
Oh! So she was talking to the actual rain. Haha. I thought she was talking to someone named Rain. XD And wow, that's a very deep way of thinking about water, like how it carries memories. I like it! And because of that, I really like Jessie as a character. Wow, this really opened my eyes. I love this kind of story, the one that makes you think of something so common in a totally new light. Great job on the concept! Maybe adding something personal that happened to Jessie and the rain would make it better, but it's still good the way it is.
This made me thirsty.

She wasn’t sure where, or when, it came from, but every raindrop had a story to tell.

I adore that line. It made me really think about things and how true that actually is.

Anyway, you are a fantastic writer and you really know how to make someone interested in a story. I was seriously hooked when I read the first paragraph.

I believe this is one of the best one-shot's I've ever read. Period.

You have written this so beautifully and described it and put so much emotion into it that it's not funny.

Seriously, I love this.

Fantastic job, m'dear. <33

This was one of the best story I've ever read on here. It's beautiful written in fluidity and so full of emotion.

It had a life. It talked to everyone, communicating in a way that most on Earth wouldn’t be able to fathom. I love this part. :`)

It creates a view so breathtaking; it can’t be copied nor synthesized. So true.

Hmm. I'm happy if you keep it just as this or carry on, either way, it's brilliant! I'll subscribe, just in case you do decide on continuing. XD

Amazing work so far! Well done! I love it!

PURPLE.
:D

Anyways, it felt sort of... magical. Ahah, I never actually thought of rain like that. It makes it seem so mystical and stuff. Not gonna lie, I don't like the rain, never have. I still don't like it much, but now it's gonna make me wonder.

out its bruised fingers
this confused me though. Why... bruised?

Anyways, like I said, I loved it. I don't know how you came up with this, but it's brilliant. Very thought inducing indeed.

I feel like this is gonna go somewhere magical. :D <3
You described rain in such a beautiful way... I sometimes really hate the rain, but, well, when you put it like that it's hard to dismiss it just as 'water falling from the sky', no? I liked the references to Queen Elizabeth and the dinosaurs.

Very well-written. C:

This is beautiful. Honestly.

The one thing that bothers me about it is that it doesn't seem to flow. Maybe it's just me, but you go from this mystic, powerful voice, to a well... normal one.

Otherwise I think that this is great!!

<3

._. I think Jessie is a tad bit insane. *Cough cough*
Any ways, I've never read anything quite like this. C:
It was cute - a nice story. (:

This is so awesome. I really love it.
Rain is so reaxing.
You described it wonderfully in this.
This is brilliant.
Well done <3

I love the way you described the rain, I know for sure I won't be able to look at it again in the same way.
This is very thought provoking and I love how you set up the story and made it so real and such a joy to read.
Is this going to be a chaptered story or is it a one-shot?
I loved how you wrote this, it felt real. I just generally love your writing :)

I like it and I mean it.
Ana Maria not if she marries me first for making a story that made me say HOLY SHYZTA THAT WAS THE SHYZTA :]

I like rain she calms me haha
